Laser Hair Removal (LHR)
Laser hair removal (LHR) is one of the most effective solutions for the common cosmetic problem of unwanted hair, for both men and women. Ideal for all skin types – LHR leaves your skin feeling soft, silky smooth and hair-free.
Laser hair removal has been performed safely and successfully since the mid-1950s, although it has only been commercially available since the mid-1970s.
The heat from light of the laser is absorbed by the pigment, or melanin, within the hair shaft. The heat then triggers inflammation in the hair follicle, which causes the follicle to enter its resting, or telogen, phase. While in this phase, the follicle produces no hair.
At Picasso Medical Aesthetic our experienced providers are experts in the art of laser hair removal. Hair removal on any part of the face or body can typically be accomplished with several 45-minute treatments while many providers tout laser hair removal as “permanent,” it is not. The only treatment that can permanently remove hair is electrolysis.
In order to create the appearance of permanent hair removal with LHR, long-term maintenance treatments are necessary. However, over time, the duration of the intervals between your treatments will get longer and longer. After achieving your initial goal, you will only require additional treatments once or twice a year to maintain your results.
